I Data & Document Analysis
've selected my campus, Kleberg Elementary, for my data/doc analysis. I was not able to access my school's technology strategic plan, but I was able to access the district's strategic plan instead. I did try to access the school's past STaR Charts, but thus far I've had no luck. I will be reaching out to my principal again to obtain a copy, if possible. In the mean time I will proceed with what I know about our campus's position on technology.
Our principal is adamant about trying to provide professional development on campus and off campus for teachers to learn how to implement technology in the classroom. She also encourages us to reach out to her, the librarian or the technology liaison assigned to our school at any time for assistance. All teachers on our campus are provided with a laptop, along with kindles for 3rd through 5th grade students. Support and training for the proper use and maintenance is provided on a regular basis through the technology liaison and the media specialist. We are pushing forward with having every student on campus with a iPad or laptop and the necessary training to go along with it. Administration provides regular updates to technology advancement. Administration selects the vendor based on price, availability, support after the purchase from the vendor with updates and maintenance on the equipment. They also provide training for the students to make sure that they know the proper use and storage to prolong the life of the device. The principal values and solicits input from us, the teachers, in making decisions like what brand of laptop we would prefer for our upgrades. Also, she insists that we share our ideas on how we can make the most of our time in the computer labs to maximize the students' exposure with the technology available to them.
